Glamping Vauban next to the UNESCO city of Neuf-Brisach in Alsace
Camping Vauban is situated on the outskirts of Neuf-Brisach, a fortified town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Surroundings
Walk along the ramparts of Neuf-Brisach
Right next to the park lies Neuf-Brisach, a star-shaped fortress town built by Vauban on the orders of Louis XIV, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk along the ramparts, wander through the geometric streets, and visit the Place d'Armes. In the Vauban Museum, you will learn how this military architecture worked. The town is small enough to cross on foot in a morning.
Taste a Riesling along the Alsace Wine Route
The Alsace Wine Route winds past vineyards and flower-filled villages, with stops like Eguisheim and Riquewihr. In Eguisheim, voted Favourite Village of the French, you can sample a glass of Riesling or Gewurztraminer straight from the winemaker. If you prefer two wheels, hop on a bike and ride the route at your own pace. Along the way you'll pass rows of grapevines as far as the eye can see, and before you know it you're halfway there and end up having a second glass after all.
Kayaking on the river Ill
Discover Alsace from the water and hop into a canoe or kayak on the river Ill. This calm river winds through a landscape of green banks, meadows, and picturesque villages, making it an ideal activity for both beginners and families. Along the way, you will mostly hear the gentle rippling of the water and the singing of birds, as you peacefully enjoy the nature around you. Thanks to the various rental points along the route, you don't need your own equipment and you can be on the water in no time.
Step into Colmar's Petite Venise
A visit to Colmar feels like walking through a postcard. In the atmospheric district of Petite Venise, colorful half-timbered houses are reflected in the narrow canals and flower boxes create a romantic ambiance. Then wander further through the historic center, past lively squares, boutiques, and cobbled streets. Settle down on a sunny terrace for a traditional tarte flambée and try a glass of local Riesling. The combination of history, gastronomy, and charm makes Colmar one of the most beautiful outings in Alsace.

The campground could be improved
The price doesn't match the services and facilities it offers.
There are several restroom buildings; some have been renovated and are acceptable, but others aren't in very good condition.
It strikes me that in one of the buildings where there used to be showers, they’ve installed sinks … instead.
I don’t see much point in that when, generally speaking, what’s most needed are showers or toilets. But I suppose a sink requires less maintenance and cleaning.
During these hot summers, most of the campsites have no shade. I was lucky and found one with shade.
And I say “found” because each person has to choose their own site, though at this campground I think that’s a good thing.
The dirt roads are dry and dusty.
And something that made me waste a lot of time was the ground. It’s impossible to drive tent stakes into the ground to secure the tent. The ground is rock-hard and full of stones.
People who are bringing a tent should keep this in mind.
The electrical outlet boxes are in poor condition and, in some cases, can be a hazard.
The best thing about the campground is the pool, although during peak season it gets crowded and loses its appeal.
Another positive is that its location is quite good—it’s in a quiet area and close to places of interest.this is a translation, click here for the original
Camping mejorable
El precio no está acorde a los servicios e instalaciones que tiene.
Hay varios edificios de baños, alguno está renovado y es aceptable, pero otros no están en muy buen estado.
Me llama la atención que en uno de los edificios donde antiguamente había duchas han puesto lavabos.
No le veo mucho sentido cuando en general lo que hace más falta son duchas o inodoros. Pero debe ser que un lavabo requiere menos mantenimiento y limpieza.
En esta época de veranos calurosos la mayoría de las parcelas no tiene sombra. Yo tuve suerte y encontré una con sombra.
Y digo encontré, porque cada persona debe encargarse de elegir su parcela, aunque en este camping creo que eso es algo positivo.
Los caminos de tierra están secos y polvorientos.
Y algo que a mí me hizo perder mucho tiempo fue el suelo. Es imposible colocar piquetas para sujetar la tienda de campaña. El suelo está durísimo y lleno de piedras.
Las personas que vayan con tienda ténganlo en cuenta.
Las cajas de tomas eléctricas están en mal estado y en algún caso pueden ser un peligro.
Lo bueno que tiene el camping es la piscina, aunque en época de mucha afluencia está abarrotada y pierde su atractivo.
Otra cosa positiva es que su ubicación es bastante buena, es una zona tranquila y cerca de lugares de interés. -

Ein Platz direkt am Rand der Stadt, aber ruhig gelegen.
Gute Lage fur Fahrradtouren nach Colmar oder Freiburg.
Unsere Parzelle war sehr uneben.
Die Gebäude könnten eine Sanierung vertragen, sind aber sauber.
Ohne Taschenlampe ist eine Orientierung in der Nacht unmöglich! -

I had read the reviews and owners replies before booking so I knew what to expect. When they say it's a 2* no frills camping site they mean it. You'd be forgiven for thinking the site was abandoned when you approach it. There was no hot water in the evening we arrived and none again in the morning. The toilets are run down and dated and only one … mens toilet block and one shower block was open. On the plus side the pitches are quite large and well spaced out with plenty of shade from the trees. It's an easy walk to Neuf-Brisach and shops and supermarkets are close by too.
Convenient for one night, but I wouldn't want to stay and longer.
There was a lot of dogs roaming around off lead too which I didn't appreciate as my own dog can be reactive and nervous at times
